was a belife in something.

so my question is this what would you do or how far would you
go to get your point across so that everyone knew where you stood
even if it meant hurting somone?

I would do anything except turn violent. No loving God would request violence from His (or Her, if that's your deal) followers.

And, hey, my God is an awesome God.

I'd do anything to speak my mind. If I really had to...I might kill a few people. But I wouldn't want to be known as a cerial killer for protecting my rights and thoughts. I'm serious about my ideals, and would want them to be heard somehow.

For me there is a part of my religion that I don't agree with, which happens to be the one thing that it preaches about - Evangelism. I don't like the fact that they are shoving one version of someone's belief down others throats rather than showing compassion with another by accepting what they believe and who they are without changing them. For to be told to spread the word isn't really right. People have the right to do as they please and not be told otherwise as its a sin to change people to do as you pleas. So I would only go as far as to do what I am truly believe to be the right thing to do and not really follow the big of my religion.

But for me, I do believe in God and that he is all around but he wouldn't want us to force people to change and control others as it will only end horribly as people will rebel. Christianity should be about accepting and not trying to make people believe the same as they do. I would rather do my own way to continue showing my faith by worshipping and doing my own little thing without getting in others way.

As for the question at hand, I would only go as far as my own Personal beliefs would go. If I was forced to do something that I don't agree with, that my religion dictates me to do then I would not do it. So its more along the lines of limiting my actions according to my beliefs due to conflicting aspects according to my own separate belief.

Sorry for the long winded answer but I got into talking about it.

I would do whatever it takes as long I don't dishonor my god, my name (family) and my country.

For God and Country!

My beliefs are my beliefs. I am not going to in any way harm anyone because of what i believe. The farthest I would go is to be active about speaking about it. I would never resort to force!

I like to keep my beliefs to myself. I kinda look at it like "One day they'll see I was right" so I don't want everybody knowing the truth. This way, when it's all over I get to let out a big "I told you so". Until then I'll sit quietly, and watch others ruin themselves.

Well, this depends on what beliefs you are talking about, religious, political, family, friends, right and wrong, morals, values, trust. What?

Religious, I will let people know what I am, but I won’t try to get you to join, if you have questions I’ll answer, but it’s your choice.
Political, same, though when there is a vote, of course I am going to try to turn you, because I believe that we will be better if this person is elected, and what you do affects me.
Family, friends, right and wrong, morals, values, trust and all that. I speak what I believe, and I do it. If you don’t, ok then, as long as it doesn’t affect me, and as long as it doesn’t crap on my beliefs. As far as the crap thing goes, I mean, I am very future family wanting, and if you go and kill your kid because they bugged you or something, I have a problem, even though it didn’t affect me.

Hope that answers.
